5 itemsAbout the Game
BYTE BACK!
In an instant, the city is overrun with Machines. A synthetic infection crawls its way through the streets. An underground society, with experimental tech in hand, scrambles to stop the rogue Artificial Intelligence and its creations. Face the fight alone, or team up with a friend, and stop the destruction!
COMBAT
SENTIENT STEEL features intense and accessible combat, which can be greatly customised using Magnet Modifiers — an experimental new technology (which you’ll be field testing)!
Master intuitive close-range and long-range attacks, absorb and unleash your Energy with abilities, and stylishly weave between dangers with your evasive manoeuvres!
PLATFORMING
Between battles, you’ll need to navigate the bizarre and challenging obstacles grown by the rogue Artificial Infection, which continue to engulf the city.
Jump, wall-run, zip, and dive through platforming challenges with highly-tuned controls using your preferred input method. (Keyboard- and controller-compatible.)
THE MACHINES
Stare in the face of the steel golems — then get out of the way when they fire! Metal Machines crawl, sprint and fly through the streets wreaking havoc…
Observe and retaliate against their fiercely dangerous — yet strangely not infallible — capabilities, until once great threats are reduced to opportunities to show off!
